On Monday, the Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee announced that it has adopted a 2024 platform containing twenty “promises” to America, including a vow to “prevent World War Three.”
Number Eight on the list is a bold promise to prevent World War Three, restore peace in other regions of the world, and build “a great iron dome” to protect the U.S.:
“PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE, RESTORE PEACE IN EUROPE AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND BUILD A GREAT IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD OVER OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY -- ALL MADE IN AMERICA.”
Indeed, in his first term in the White House, presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump demonstrated that can broker peace deals, having spearheaded multiple peace accords among countries in the Middle East.
The other items on the list reflect long-time Trump agenda items, such as ending the immigration crisis, boosting the American economy, restoring public safety restoring U.S. energy independence and putting a stop to the weaponization of government.
Conspicuously absent from the list is any reference to abortion or the right to life.
All 20 promises, predicated on Republicans gaining control of all three branches of government, are presented below:
- “Seal the border, and stop the migrant invasion.”
- “Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.”
- “End inflation, and make America affordable again.”
